Legalization Services
An extension, an annex or a modification built without approval can stand in the way of a sale, a permit or a utility connection. We inspect and document what was built, assess it as engineers, prepare the drawings and reports the authority needs, and coordinate with the municipality until the building is regularised.
What the service covers
- Site inspection and documentation
- Engineering assessment of unauthorized works
- Technical drawings and reports preparation
- Coordination with municipalities
Who it is for
- Villa owners with extensions or annexes built without approval
- Buyers and sellers of properties with unregistered modifications
- Companies with facilities that must be brought into technical compliance
How we work
Site inspection
What exists on site, measured and documented.
Engineering assessment
Whether the unauthorised works are structurally sound and what they need to comply.
Drawings and reports
The as-built drawings and technical reports the application requires.
Municipality
The submission and the follow-up with the municipality.

Questions
Can every unauthorised extension be legalised?
That is for the authority to decide. Our engineering assessment tells you what the works need in order to comply, before you apply.
Have you legalised larger facilities?
Yes. With ADYARD (ALTRAD Group) we delivered structural engineering consultancy for a major project on the legalisation and technical compliance of non-conforming buildings.
Do you deal with the municipality for us?
Yes. Coordination with the municipality is part of the service.
